Stereoview: 19th Century 3D
Period of Use: 1851 - 1940

		The stereoview is a double photograph, or printed image, paired in such a manner that when viewed with a stereoscope it appears as a three dimensional or solid image. The earliest stereoviews were daguerreotypes, and the rarest tintypes. The color and thickness of a mount, and the printing used for the labels, can provide a great deal of information about a stereoview.

Stereoviews were mass produced in a variety of processes:

daguerreotype 1849 - 1860
ambrotype 1854 - 1860
tintype 1860 - 1875
flat cards 1852 - 1870
curved cards 1879 - 1940

Prints from Stereoviews:
	African American family and their log cabin			Stereoview of alligator hunting party
